Show Notes
Welcome to the Somerset Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) podcast!
In this episode, Hoarding Disorder, our hosts Dr. Peter Bagshaw and (substitute host, called in off the bench) David Sealey are joined by Heather Brunt, Senior Case Manager & Projects Lead from Somerset Independence Plus to discuss hoarding disorder in detail.
During the conversation, they discuss what hoarding disorder actually is, why it is different to collecting and how Somerset Independence Plus work to help people with this condition.
The SEW podcast is a free weekly show hosted by Dr. Andrew Tresidder and Dr. Peter Bagshaw. In each episode, the doctors discuss a different topic related to mental and emotional wellbeing and often invite expert guests to join them in conversation. The show is aimed at the people of Somerset and beyond; the advice and guidance provided should apply to anybody who needs it, whenever they need it.
